42- Fixed the hibernation problem in boot2/resume.c
43- Fixed all new booter versions with SystemType would override the facp value even if correct,
44 now keeps the facp value if correct and no override has been done, implemented a best effort algo.
45 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
46- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
47 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
48
49- Fixed SystemType would be always forced to a value, now optionally changed
50 only if overridden
51- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id
52 For theses reasons, SystemId from bootConfig and SMUUID from smbiosConfig are now DEPRECATED.

54- Integrated JrCs fadt patch (kept for RC5 the existing DSDT.aml retry algo that disappeared in his patch,
55 should be more discussed for RC6)
56- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards
57- Now malloc (ex. MALLOC in Asere patch) is renamed malloc(size) and is an alias
58 to safe_malloc(size, file, line) with _FILE_ and _LINE_ preprocessor definitions
59- Added a new 'Rename Partition Feature', now permitting to rename partition
60 like 'System reserved' to a more meaningful name
61- Added SystemID option permitting to change the System UUID to a fixed value.
62- Added the PciRoot auto detection feature imported from pcefi10.5
63- Added automatic "system-id" injection from dmi bios, also compatible
64 with SystemID boot option and former SMUUID from smbios,plist
65- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
66 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
67- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
68- Merged with asere patch, while keeping my fake_efi.c changes, and adding a new
